Cyclospora Outbreak Surges with Lettuce Link | Hattiesburg News

Cyclospora cases are exploding this year—with nearly 14,000 confirmed since May, mostly linked to iceberg lettuce now spreading to Maine and Massachusetts. While FDA investigates seven other active outbreaks, only this one has a clear source. Symptoms can take weeks to appear, and many go unreported, making the true toll likely much higher. Two deaths in Michigan—though patients had other health issues—highlight the danger: untreated infections can linger for months. If you’re sick for more than a couple of weeks, see a doctor. Stay vigilant, wash your greens, and don’t ignore the warning signs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
